She returns calls get the message to the doctor timely..that’s important to the patients..Overall my experience was great.. I can’t leave out anesthesiology..they too were great and professional..5 stars Thanks again!

Had a colonoscopy here today 4.3.26. The place is very difficult to find because it's on the huge Emory hospital complex. The 1st problem when we walked into suite 506 and there was no one sitting behind the check-in desk. So, we checked in using the QR code and waited. I got tired of waiting, I yelled HELLO and someone nearby answered. Evidently, endoscopy patients are supposed to walk through the oddly decorated blue door to yet another check in window?! There is no way in the world that a new patient would know to walk through that blue door to find a smaller check-in desk where the receptionists are. The nurses were great. The doctor was fine until the end. I'm all done, sitting in a wheelchair in the giant room with all the individual curtained rooms (which were all closed and occupied). Orderlies, nurses and patients are everywhere. The doctor comes out to give me my end of procedure paperwork, pictures and results. Instead of going to a private office, he's standing there in front of me, talking fairly loudly about everything (personal private things) in the wide open room where everyone can hear. I felt that was very unprofessional and maybe even a hippa violation. I didn't really need the entire room knowing the results of my procedure and possible future follow ups. Instead, bring the patient into an office, close the door, offer a water (propofol makes your mouth super dry) and privately tell the patient your findings and suggestions.

Kathy was very helpful and professional.

Dr. Stern, office is great, his staff very kind .

Dr. Simpson was great - he listened carefully and made sure he had answered all my questions. We have a path forward and I am greatly relieved.

Highly recommend Dr. Balistreri. He was efficient, kind, direct, holistic, and took me seriously. I’m in my 30s and have been putting off going to the GI because I’m young, and he thanked me for being proactive to care for my health. I was able to book an appointment online the same week. I was also very impressed by his staff, specifically his MA/secretary Monica, who was so chill, nice, and funny, and Jennifer at the front desk, who greeted me in a way that made me feel immediately like I was in a good place. Great experience.

Great as always Dr Stern Jarmec and sherr

Monica Monica Monica! What a wonderful asset! Everyone there is professional and personable. Numerous aftercare calls. I have been going to Dr. Balestreri for at least ten years and appreciate his care.
